Onamini: Designing an
AI-Powered Gig Ecosystem
A comprehensive platform design connecting companies with top-tier talent through trust-focused verification and AI-driven matching.
The Context
Bridging the Gap Between Flexibility and Trust
The gig economy is booming, but it suffers from fragmentation. Companies struggle to verify talent credibility, while freelancers deal with disjointed tools for managing their work.
My goal: Design a cohesive ecosystem that leverages AI to simplify matching and uses robust verification workflows to build trust, ensuring a seamless experience for all stakeholders.
Project Details

Before Onamini, the gig management process was fragmented and manual, leading to frustration on all sides.
